5.4.5Network Test
On the "Network Test" tab, you can verify IP network connectivity. This test verifies if the driver is installed correctly and tests connectivity to a gateway or other specified IP address on the same subnet. Network Test uses TCP/IP. The network test sends ICMP packets to remote systems and waits for a response. If a gateway is configured, the test automatically sends packets to that system. If a gateway is not configured or if the gateway is unreachable, the test prompts you for a destination IP address.
5.4.6Diagnostics
On the "Diagnostics" tab, you can perform diagnostic tests on the physical components of a network adapter. The tests are continuously performed. The number of passes and fails in the "Pass/Fail" column increments each time the tests are performed. For example, if a test is performed four times and there are no fails, the value in the "Pass/Fail" column is 4/0. If there were 3 passes and 1 fail, however, the value in the "Pass/Fail" column is 3/1.
`You must have Windows administrator privileges to perform diagnostics.
`The network connection is temporarily lost when these tests are running.
